FAQ's:
How long does it take to refill my sofa cushions once I have dropped them off?
It can vary on how busy we are. Generally its 2-5 working days however when we are busier this can increase to 5-7 working days. You can always ring ahead to check how busy we are at the time (01752 345678).
I need the new cushions to reach British fire standards to comply with my insurance.
All our sofa cushion foam grades are made in the UK and meet all relevant fire standards (BS5852). This means that your new sofa cushions will comply with any standard UK insurance. This is particularly important for holiday homes and guest letting apartments.
How much does sofa cushion refilling cost?
The price varies depending on the size of your cushions (W x D x H), the foam you choose and how many you are having refilled. Sofa cushions can cost anywhere from £38 - £70 per cushion. Call us with you sizes before you come in for a rough quote (although it can vary due to different foam preferences and inaccurate measuring).
Will they feel much different from feather/ fibre cushions that I have currently?
Yes, foam cushions keep their shape so once you stand up they spring back meaning they will look different on your sofa. Please also consider that with foam replacements you will be sat higher up. This is often useful for those with hip problems and elderly individuals with reduced mobility. The structure of foam also means that sitting should be more beneficial for your back and will help you sit up straighter. (See our range of back rests here.)
Can I get my back sofa cushions replaced too; to stop them sagging?
We can also refill backs or add a foam insert into them to add more structure.
Do you include fibre and stockinette, what is fibre and stockinette on sofa cushions?
Fibre and stockinette is wrapped around the foam cushions to give the appearance of a rounder cushion. The fibre is glued to the foam using a water based adhesive and then the stockinette is over-locked over the foam and fibre to keep it all contained. When you take your covers off it will all come out easier and go back in easier too. All our standard sofa cushion quotes include both fibre and stockinette.

Although not essential it is useful for you to measure the internal arm to arm measurement (where the cushions sit) of the sofa so that our cutters can make sure the covers look perfect and they also fit perfectly on your sofa.

Hi,
I have a 3 piece sofa set where the cushions have all sagged. I would like them refilled. The only issue I can see is that I cannot separate the cushions from the frame of the sofa. Is there any possible way we can get these cushions refilled. Thank You
